A review by bookcraft
My Dark Places by James Ellroy
3.0
Halfway through. Fascinated by the content but I can't help but feel like Ellroy tries too hard, like he's still the kid he was at age ten, spewing garbage for the shock value and for the attention it gets.
Finished, and my midway-point assessment hasn't changed. There's some sincerity there, but there's just as much bull. I can't quite decide if he's a brilliant writer or an ex-druggie whose brain has been fried. Maybe it doesn't matter.
